    It's almost been a month so far since getting the Nintendo Switch. What I love the most about this console is its portability, meaning that I can carry it around on the go, undocked in handheld mode. Battery life varies depending on the screen brightness and what game you're playing. I get 4-6 hours.You can also use it as a home console by plugging it into your TV, all you need is your adapter and an HDMI cable which come included. Then there's tabletop mode where you can use the hinge on the back and let it stand while using the Joy-Cons wirelessly. I don't use it that way often. Other than the the Joy-Cons, the wireless Pro controller and other wired 3rd party controllers are available on the market. If you consider yourself clumsy or heavy-handed like me, I recommend getting a screen protector and some other accessories, and always be gentle when placing your Switch into the dock. No issues so far.

    Very nice product as expected from Nintendo

    This is a very nice gaming system. The games are great and what everyone has come to expect from Nintendo. The console is easy to operate. The mobile gaming option is fantastic. The only cons I’d have: it is a relatively expensive system. The joycons are slightly loose-fitting when connected to the tablet. The dock stands upright, which means the tablet must be inserted from above—this is a bit of an inconvenience when trying to make shelf-space on an entertainment console. The dock can lay flat, but the tablet does not lock securely into the dock in this configuration, which could possibly expose the tablet to being knocked out of the dock. These are minor gripes, and overall this is a very nice gaming system.

    What’s not to like about a system that lets you play on your 4K tv and switch to the tablet and go outside? Or into another room? Let’s be honest...when nature calls, your Switch can go with you. It’s the Gameboy on steroids. After the...meh...Wii U, this one is a home run. Great job, Nintendo. With Best Buy, I ordered Online and received it 4 days later. The delivery time was just what they promised.

    Best Nintendo Console Yet!

    My son and I have been playing this non-stop since I bought it. Mario Kart, Zelda, and Splatoon 2 are a few games we have purchased so far and haven't been let down. The quality of the console is fantastic and its so neat you can have it on your TV and just take it off of the dock and walk around the house playing your games without skipping a beat. This is the best Nintendo console yet in my opinion.

    I bought this to replace my switch lite and am very satisfied. It is a nice upgrade, especially being able to play on the TV instead of a handheld console all the time.

    The Switch performs like a portable & with the included hdmi cable games can be played on a monitor as well. The games are very vivid and colorful & the Switch seems to have the power to drive them effortlessly. It does require a lot of battery for Mariokart 8, even with the Swith on ac through a monitor the battery can be depleted. Very happy with the performance so far, would definitely recommend.

    My step son loves it. It is portable and he can play with his friends and relatives. Super cool gaming system. It's also nice that he isn't stuck in front of his tv in order to enjoy it . This was a Christmas gift and it made his day. It functions well with no glitches and games are affordable. I recommend it highly

    I can't recommend this console highly enough. I have been away form gaming for a long time and this has totally revitalized my love for video games. The games Nintendo are putting are top notch and really driving home the sense of fun. This is truly the only must have home console currently. Almost everything on a PS4 or XBONE can be replicated on a PC, the same can certainly not be for the Switch.

    We purchased this for our family as a group gift last Christmas and haven't regretted it since. We love that you can dock it and play it on the TV and then transition to portable use. Would HIGHLY recommend for the family, as you can each play under your own account (and not mess up other people's progress or gameplay).

    I would say hands down this is my favorite gaming console. I also had the Wii U and this is exactly what the Wii U should have been from the beginning. The improved battery life is AMAZING. The only downside is the graphics power versus the competition but for what It lacks here it makes up for in portability factor many times over.

    I didn’t really know what to expect with the Switch since I haven’t owned a Nintendo system since the N64. However, I have thoroughly enjoyed the Switch. It’s awesome to play on the road whether it’s the car, train or plane. I have gotten hooked on Breath of the Wild and I love being able to take it with me. I’m sure future titles will be great as well and make the purchase even better.

    Got this as a birthday gift and I haven't stop playing it since! the fact that I can go from flat screen to hand held is the best reason for using this console. Nintendo knocked it outta the park with this one! Get one if you can you wont regret it. PS. skip the switch lite and just go with this one. BE SURE TO GET A RED BOX ONE!!!
